A wheel of Camembert (the earthier, bolder cousin of that old favorite Brie) is part of the puzzle. Your backyard grill and some fresh-right-now cherries are the rest of it. Like baked brie in spirit, Grilled Camembert is a twist that takes on a light smoky flavor (and a little charred taste from those cute grill marks) when you gently heat it on the grill for just a few minutes. And the topping, a super quick compote of sweet cherries infused with rosemary, is the perfect foil for each bite of gooey, melted cheese. As the summer beats on, you can still keep this party starter on the roster—just exchange the cherries for the most seasonal fruit: nectarines, plums, peaches, and blueberries all make a delicious pairings.
